The on loan Leeds United forward is still awaiting his first team debut.
Izzy Brown was due to play 90 minutes for Leeds United’s Under-23s against Sheffield United on Monday afternoon, the Yorkshire Evening Post reported just hours before kick-off.
But the on-loan Chelsea forward was not involved at all in Sheffield, with first-team regulars Jack Harrison and Tyler Roberts among those included instead.
And Brown’s omission appears to have developed two patterns of thinking within the Leeds fanbase – either he’s starting for the first team against Reading on Tuesday, or has suffered some sort of setback.
This is what they’re saying on Twitter about the 21-year-old…

No way will Brown be anywhere near that squad tomorrow after only 45 mins of football in a year, unfortunately he’ll have had a set back
Brown has not appeared at first team level since he damaged cruciate ligaments while on loan to Brighton in January, but got 45 minutes of under-23 football under his belt against Birmingham City earlier this month.
It has been suggested on Twitter that instead of featuring against Sheffield United’s U23s, Brown has been pencilled in to face Newcastle United’s second string on Friday evening.
Either way, it looks extremely unlikely that the former West Brom academy player will feature when Leeds face the Blades’ senior side at Bramall Lane the following lunchtime.
